I
can relate. Here's a bit you probably didn't know. My Girlfriend and I
are seperated by 600 Miles and we still believe in Love. I often fall
asleep on the phone after 2 hours of just chatting with her about
things like her dog, or what her mother is up to.

This year
for valentines day I bought a Teddy Bear in the store window of the
Salvation Army for her, that said 2007 on it (note it is actually 2008)
because we met in 2007. Some unhappy person probably gave it away but
to us it means the world.

Someone has to love the poor guy
right? So she and her pekanese keep it company, and I talk to them
daily as before. And I've even pointed out directly that we need to
discuss getting married - 3 years down the road. But - a) Not without
her family being comfortable with me. b) Not without my family being
comfortable with her. c) Not without our families getting at least
somewhat in touch, and most of all d) Only if She says yes, when I ask
her in front of members of Both our families.

Because I believe love is real, it is true, and it can be shared, if people TRY, to find a common ground.

Incedentally, I fell asleep on the phone on Feb 15th having talked for 4 hours, and the UPS guy was $12.00 richer.
